Ex-Epiq Employee Appeals Noncompete Injunction

Law360, New York (December 15, 2009, 3:52 PM EST) -- A former employee of Epiq Class Action and Claims Solutions Inc. is taking a battle over a noncompete agreement to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit after a lower court issued a preliminary injunction enforcing the agreement.

James Prutsman filed the notice of appeal Monday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, several days after Judge Michael Mosman denied Prutsman's motion on Friday to reconsider the November ruling granting the injunction.
